The 2024 DAXI DAXI Revival, set in the vibrant Daxi District of Taoyuan City, is an extraordinary celebration organized by the Daxi Wood Art Ecomuseum. This immersive festival pays homage to the intertwined prosperity of the divine and the community. Each year, the 24th day of the sixth lunar month marks the birthday of God Emperor Guan, an occasion regarded by the residents of Daxi as a “Another Lunar New Year.” On this day, the entire city comes alive in a jubilant celebration, expressing heartfelt gratitude for the blessings bestowed by the emperor—a cherished tradition with roots extending over a century.
